AWNING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent-No. 252,093, dated January 10, 1882.

' Application led August 26,1831. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that we, LEwIs FoxandGEoRGE WEENINK, of Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Awnings; and we do hereby declare the following to be V a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

Our invention relates to awnings, and it consists in the peculiar manner of housing the same, as will be hereinafter fully set forth and claimed.

I n the drawings, Figure l is an isometric view of our device attached to a window-frame, showing it in a closed position and with its sides folded back. Fig. 2 is an isometric view, showingourdevice attached to awindow-frame and in use with awning down and sides in position. Fig. 3v is a detached View of the end board, showing its construction. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the housing-box and roller.

A is a window-frame, to the upper part of which is attached a housingbox, B. This housing-box is provided with a roller, O, which extends from one end to the other of said box B. This roller, in turn, is provided with two grooved pulleys, D', near its ends, and revolves in suitable bearings, a, set in the end of the box B.

E is an awning, of suitable material, one end of which is attached to the roller O and the other end to a board, F.

G are cords or ropes, which are attached at one end to the board F and pass over the pulleys D, and from thence to the inside of the building, where they are secured.

H are brace-rods, one end of which is hinged to the window-frame in'such a manner that they are free to move up and down, but not laterally. The outer end of the brace-rods H is hinged to the end board, F, in such a manner that when the awning is down the said end board will be at right angles to the said rod H. (See Fig. 3.) v

I are side pieces, which are hinged to the window-f rame in such a manner that they will swin gin ahorizontaldirection,or may hethrown back out of the way, as shown in Fig. l, when the awning E is rolled up in the housing-box B.

The operation of our device is as follows:

When it is desired to roll the awning E up, all that is necessary is to pull the cords G from inside, which cords, running over the pulleys -in such a manner as to protect the awning E,

and the side pieces, I, are swung back, as shown in Fig. 1.

The end board, F, may be used as a sign,l if desired, as shown in the drawings.

We are aware that it is not broadly new to combine with a housing an awning and means for rolling the latter within the housing; hence we make no claim to such construction but What we claim is- The combination, with the housing, roller, and pulleys, of the awning E, end board, F, cord G, and braces H, hinged at one end to the window-frame and at the other end to the end. board, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
